Commentary on the world around us by an 'ordinary Aussie'.
I believe that the individual, their rights, freedoms and aspirations form the basic building blocks of a free society. I'm for; .Individual Rights, Freedom, Responsibility; .An Australian Republic (with a directly elected Head of State with real, codified reserve powers); .A Bill of Rights (with RKBA); .Direct Democracy (Initiative, Referendum, Recall); .Accessable, quality education; .A strong defence force; .Free markets.

An Alaskan cabin, a young couple with 'the pioneering spirit'.

I've been visiting this site for a while. I have to admit that Alaska fascinates me.

While our extremes are measures of how hot it can get, and still have people function, Alaskan extremes are the opposite - how cold an environment can you live in and still survive?While our problems are not enough water, theirs is probably having too much snow. And so on. The two worlds are diametrically opposite.

And, it's just gratifying to see a young couple with the starch to strike out in what is still a frontier on their own, and make a go of it. heartwarming stuff and I wish Jill and Aaron all the best for their future.
